Hawaii man walks to NH to support libertarian project

Monday

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — When people head across the country, they usually take a vehicle, but a Hawaii man decided to make the journey to New Hampshire on foot.

Thirty-five-year-old Will Buchanan and his wife recently decided to move to the Granite State, but instead of driving, Buchanan wanted to walk from the shores of Oregon to the coast of New Hampshire to draw attention to the Free State Project, a movement aimed at persuading thousands of libertarians to move to the state.

Buchanan has been renting a home in Henniker since Dec. 14, using it as a home base. Each day he walks east, with his wife following in a support vehicle. Buchanan had made it to Manchester on Saturday and he hopes to reach the Seacoast by New Year's Day.
